Stone fired a slap shot from the right point that went through teammate Martin Hanzal's screen and caromed in off the far goal post. It came 2 seconds after a Coyotes power play ended. Stephen Weiss, who received a hooking penalty with 6:49 left, had just come out of the penalty box.

"Got an opening and a chance to shoot," Stone said. "(Mike) Ribeiro mad a great pass, and I got a screen in front from Marty Hanzal.

"They are known to be good faceoff guys, a couple of them, but we have to be better than we were tonight," he said. "I don't know what the stats are, but that's how I felt.

"We knew those two guys (Hanzal, Vermette) are real good on faceoffs. We have to dig in better next time."

Andersson put a rebound over Smith's shoulder 5:07 into the second period to tie it 1-1. It was the first goal of the season for the Red Wings' third line, which also features Cleary and Todd Bertuzzi.

Ericsson's floating shot from the right point found its way into the net at 6:00.

But Boedker made it 2-2 by scooping up a loose puck and putting it in just 1:04 later.

Morris opened the scoring just 2:21 in when his slap shot from the right point got past Howard after Vermette beat Stephen Weiss cleanly on a faceoff.
